The internodes grow so long that the plants become indistinguishable from climbing. The Gibberellins overcome the genetic limitations in different dwarf varieties. There are more than 70 gibberellins isolated. They are GA1, GA2, GA3 and so on. GA3 Gibberellic acid is the most widely studied plant growth regulators. Prolactin , Insulin and oxytocin are hormones produced in human body . |
